I was very fond of buying mobile phones. Gadgets are the new trend. I saw a sale online and
decided to buy a new smartphone, so I called my dad.
Me: "Daddy, my phone is not working properly". That was a lame attempt to upgrade to a
new smartphone, but I tried and succeed.
Dad: "It's ohk son, buy a new one".
I can't believe that parents are this much caring.
Parents do everything for their child. My conversation with dad is a yes-no game. When he
agrees, he says "yes", otherwise it's my bad. After ending up the phone call, I opened the
Apia checked the exchange offer. "When you are planning something good, you are actually
into it". I was shocked as well as amazed with the exchange offer. I was getting a handsome
amount for my current phone.
"When things are going in the right zone, verify and then proceed". I was very desperate to
buy the new phone. I just clicked on buy now, and then chose the payment option.
Surprisingly, there was no cash-on-delivery option. I was in a hurry, I searched for my debit
card and completed the payment. The amount was 6230 Rs.
After that, I called my friends to tell them about my new phone. Then I called my phone
expert, Vinay who was an expert in gadget reviews.
Me: "Hola, Vinay".
Vinay:"Is everything fine?".
When you call your friend in need,he will definitely play a fastest finger first round with you.
Me:"I am buying a new phone".
And then things changed.He was shocked after I gave the details of the phone.
Vinay:"Cancel the order bro".As he was my guru,I did the same thing as instructed.
I opened the app again,checked my recent orders and cancelled the order with no further
delay.
And the journey began,I got a message after the cancellation of order.
"Dear Atul,Your refund has been processed,It will take 5-7 working days to reflect the
amount in your account".But they didn't mentioned to be patient and tension free.
After that I called my dad.
Me:"I cancelled the order".
Dad:"So,what's the issue,then ?".Parents have 7 senses,and in my language they are legends.
Me:"I paid the money online".
Our parents don't trust in the online stuff.I know he was very comfortable in taking orders by
giving cash to the delivery boy.Actually people fear to change,even if they are getting a good
offer.
Dad:"Was COD available ? ".
At that moment I was feeling helpless.
Me:"No,it was not available".When you try to make things better,actually you are preparing
yourself for the new battle.
He told me to calm down and relax.I took a power nap and then started preparing for the
upcoming test.
